California lawmakers finished their final session of the year by approving bills to raise California’s minimum wage to the highest in the nation, addressing issues of environmental protection, teacher misconduct, and allowing illegal Immigrant in the state to obtain driver licenses. The Legislature adjourned after a final rush of numerous bills and debates and won’t return again until the new year in January.

Among the bills being sent to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk for approval is bill AB10 that would increase the state’s minimum wage to $10 an hour by 2016. Brown has until mid October to make a decision, but he has already come out in support for this bill.

Immigrants who are in California illegally would be able to get a driver license under AB60. “This bill will enable millions of people to get to work safely and legally,” Brown said in a statement to the LA Times. The bill would require special marks on the licenses with the initially DP, driver’s privilege, to signify a difference. Other bills headed to Brown’s desk include AB375 that would speed up the process for dismissing teacher who are accused of misconduct.
